Today in #LaborHistory 10/9/1967: #Plowshares movement began when Father #DanielBerrigan & the Plowshares 8 trespassed onto #GeneralElectric & beat on parts for #Minuteman missiles & poured blood on documents. Many other actions & many activists imprisoned, incl Berrigan brothers.
"It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total inability of violence to change anything for the better." #DanielBerrigan #PrayForAmerica
